2018 Infrastructure For Learning Funding Program Opens July 5, 2017

The application process for the Infrastructure for Learning funding program opens Wednesday, July 5. More information will be sent directly to department administrators and chairs to share with faculty and staff and can also be found in The Neighborhood.

The Infrastructure for Learning Program supports equipment upgrades or recurring funding and the long-term evolution and maintenance of the inventory of instructional infrastructure in CLA. This program option is intended to utilize strategic planning with regard to departmental technology equipment.

New Timing

Previously awarded in the spring/early summer, the Infrastructure for Learning Program adjusted its timing to the fall/early winter to allow for more timely installation of the technology. OCM is very busy in the late summer and the timing change will ensure departments do not have to wait long periods of time after the technology arrives before it can be installed and start benefiting the community.

Required Meeting with Departmental Consultant

The deadline to complete the required consultation as part of an Infrastructure for Learning Program application is Friday, August 17. After meeting with their departmental consultant, the department chair will also meet with a representative from the Office of Classroom Management (OCM) to include an estimate for any labor when they submit a single plan for their department.

Contact your departmental consultant to schedule the required consultation. You may request a consultation any time, even if you have not yet drafted your funding application.

All proposals for the Infrastructure for Learning Funding programs are due Friday, September 29, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. All proposals must be received online at that time. Results will be communicated in late January 2018.
